Space Jam A New Legacy - From Black Panther to Bugs Bunny

[albert chan]

Lebron in general is just too heavily pushed. It seems artificial at this point. That combined with his pro china to the point of idiotic public statements defending their actions on issues like their muslim camps mentality and how full of himself he is in general are a perfect storm to make the general public lose interest or even generate a hate base against him. Even as someone who barely cares about sports and especially does not care for the major sports organizations and how corrupt they are I can see that. Why is he the NBA's golden child?

The study in question only showed the amount of hate he gets, yet not the positive ones. Though, the hate outweighs the love in LeBron’s case. It also doesn’t help that not only did his team lose the first round to the Suns and walk off after five minutes of game time without congratulating the team, he also will not play for TEAM USA along with his teammate Anthony Davis, and instead finish filming Space Jam 2.

Put it short, modern day social media is failing to turn this man into Michael Jordan.

What a lot of people forget is that in the 80s/90s (we'll call it the Jordan Era), NBA was like a religion for many many people, especially the youth. It was every where and that was when it was at its most exciting. MJ was the top of the mountain, but that was an era that produced Hall of Fame caliber talents and stars with cross promotional appeal like it was it was the easiest thing in the world to do. I could sit here and talk about many stars and many great careers without having to mention MJ once.

Even the bad boys of the NBA, like Dennis Rodman and Isaiah Thomas, were fun to hate in their own way.

Right now, LeBron James is the biggest star in basketball, and the sport's greatest talent, and has been for years, but that is in an era where I bet if I went on the street and asked people to name 10 NBA players besides him, only the most die hard of NBA fans left would be able to do it. The caliber of star of talent just isn't what it was during MJ's years, and the game has changed too.

With that in mind, the original Space Jam, for all its faults, was a movie that capitalized on something huge: The NBA was HUGE back then, and using cultural icons like The Looney Tunes and the face of Americana, Michael Jordan as the leads, it was the perfect "Product of the 90s" movie. Trying to replicate that in an era where the NBA is nowhere near as interesting or exciting just seems a fool's game to me.

because the media has been pushing him as the greatest player to ever play since he was a junior in high school and it mostly worked until the entire circus act of turning his decision of whether he was going to return to Cleveland or Miami into a television event. That was the turning point into becoming a sports villain, tbh because the whole thing came off as egomaniacal and self-serving, while also fucking management of his previous team.

He definitely changed the landscape of the game but unfortunately, it was for the worst.

I'm legit surprised he isn't the most hated player in his own state, since he's told Ohio more than once to go fuck itself.

I can't wait for this movie to somehow profit because retarded people want to clap at the member berries as they hate the whole film as a whole.

I find celebrities who shit on their own home state simply for being red to be peices of shit

Christ, even Futurama had a better take on the Space Jam story

Unpopular opinion but I never liked Kobe. He was always too openly arrogant, full of himself, and displayed a lot of really poor sportsmanship (like only wanting to play if they were winning). He could've at least tried to be humble in front of the cameras, but he never did.

Why does every movie trailer need a shitty remix of an old pop song now?

Also, Bugs, Lola, and Taz have this uncanny valley thing going on that's really distracting whenever they become 3D.

Sucks that’s there is no comments section, but the like to dislike ratio is interesting:

 

[RumblyTumbly]

I just watched a Looney Tunes' trailer that said "Well, that happened?" and "Haters gonna Hate".

I want to die.

Something about this trailer makes me think they’re putting Lola as the “Head Toon” or whatever.

Also, , this movie really is just the original beat for beat almost, huh? Only instead of the Toons being challenged to a basketball game, it’s LaBron.

Basketball player goes to Toon world
Recruits Toons for a team.
They all suck except Lola.
They suck as the first half.
Suddenly decide to use the Toon abilities and start winning.

Something about their fur and the way they move is really off. Like they're made of foam or something.

I think they stated somewhere that she's like the assistant coach. But they're obviously going to make her obnoxious as fuck considering that they indicate that she broke up with Bugs and now lives with the fucking DC comics Amazons... Always resetting the status quo for cheap backtracking or some quota to fill. But what's really bugging me though is that Marvin Martian appears in merch, his flying saucer seems to be their HQ, part of Mars and Planet X are fused to "Tune World" for some reason, a separate "Mars" is also listed, and Bugs is wearing his helmet. Like what's up with that? Why not just have Marvin in the movie? Why is he getting the Pepe treatment? He's one of the more popular Looney Tunes isn't he? And why did they choose Granny to be on the team? If they wanted a kooky female teammate with weird powers they could've gone with Witch Hazel, I mean she even lends herself better to comedy and physical violence.

There is way too much lore in a Looney Tunes movie.

DC comics Amazon, Mars, Tune World....jeez.

"I'm shorter than Kevin Hart!"
Even when it's not Kevin Hart making the joke himself, it's still the only joke to be made about him

They made her a lesbian too?

Crossing my fingers so there is a cameo of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman sharing a scene with Lola and her acting managing to look less authentic than that of a cartoon rabbit.
